Iran revises down blasts death toll to 84

IndiaTimes Thursday, 4 January 2024
Iranian authorities on Thursday said twin blasts in the country's south killed 84 people the previous day, revising down an earlier toll from the explosions at a top general's commemoration. The revised death toll was also confirmed by the head of Iran's emergency services, Jafar Miadfar, who said the earlier tally of 95 killed was due to the fact that some bodies had been dismembered and counted "several times". Miadfar said 284 had been injured in what authorities labelled a "terrorist attack".
